Over the year’s I’ve thought of that time in August until Thanksgiving break as “the gauntlet” due to the extensive time, the summer heat, and the pressure to change Freshman into humans. Well, it’s over. The break starts tomorrow and a week of peace… hopefully.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

Valence electrons are the parts of the atom that do all of the heavy lifting when it comes to holding your world (and you) together in one piece. Today we’ll see there are only three versions of these bonds. Hmmm… that number three seems to be coming up a lot.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: The Bond. You will present three definitions, one for each type of chemical bond.
   -=-
2. TASK 2: We will then talk about the nature of these bonds, but as we do so, you might learn a couple of things about human nature. Turns out boys and girls are behaviorally not all that different from these bond behaviors.

Your task is to follow up on the website listed below. You will be making chemical compounds using this simulator. As you use the simulator, you’ll be asked to fill out that nifty sheet you were given. Finish it today and you’ll get some much needed bonus points!

Here’s the website: CLICK HERE The instructions on how to fill out your sheet are in this video below:

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Watch the instructional video (above)

2. TASK 2: Click here to visit the site you need to complete Part 3 of your challenge sheet
   -=-
3. TASK 3: Once finished, you can staple your sheet to your ATN – all the glue sticks are gone!

The Valence electrons do ALL the work. The forces that keep atoms together are called bonds. I think you’ve figured that out by now. Though, the number of bonds and the type of bonds are predictable based on where they are on the periodic table – and THAT positioning is brought about by something called ELECTRONEGATIVITY. Say that … and your IQ goes up 10 points.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Get out your ATN and set up section 6. This thing called “electronegativity” is the force that decides what sort of chemical bond happens in a molecule.
   -=-
2. TASK 2: Draw an outline of the periodic table in your ATN. Next draw an arrow that indicated the trend of electronegativity across the table. (If you’re in class, check the screen in the back of the class)
   -=-
3. TASK 3: List the elements in Section 6 from LOWEST electronegativity to HIGHEST level of electronegativity. Get it signed off when you are done.

You’re going to learn a new word today, Agents. The word is “VALENCE” and it means on the surface or that which you can see, or something unhidden. It has a significance in chemistry, as you will see.

Recall us talking about those three craft that “landed” in Antarctica? Check this out…

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Get out your ATN and set up section 4. We are about to unlock the secret code of chemistry.

2. TASK 2: Follow along in Section 4. The next few sections are the MOST IMPORTANT to really understand the next training.

It’s TUESDAY! So the good Doctor is out doing University stuff. However, today you will quest into the realms of why and how to build nuclear material and build atoms.

First… watch this video about how to use the website… you might be kinda lost without it.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Get the half-sheet from the teacher and put your name in it. THEN…. get some glue from the front of the room and glue in your sheet to your ATN. This will be checked off tomorrow.
   -=-
2. TASK 2: Go to this link: CLICK HERE for the atom builder -Pick the “Decay” box on the left.
   -=-
3. TASK 3: Make sure you are done by tomorrow morning. Dr. T will check them all of then – You get all of it completed before Wednesday, I’ll make it worth your while.

What we are about to discuss is, in fact, the sort of stuff that you would be likely to find in a crash site of a true UFO or an Earth-built ARV (Alien Reproduction Vehicle ~ TR3-B “Astra”)

However, as we learn about these ultra materials we understand that just because we find this stuff at a crash site… does NOT automatically mean it’s alien. We have this stuff, too!

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Get out your Chromebook and download Training 2 section 4 – Ultra Materials
   -=-
2. Task 2: The good Doctor will then walk through this training section with you. All you need to do is follow along and complete the information he puts on the screen in your ATN. Easiest signature ever.
   -=-
3. TASK 3: Get Section 3 signed off today in class if possible. We can also sign off any other sections that you have completed but don’t have signed off.

Density = mass / volume. Turns out if you change the shape of your object to something that has a shape that can be described as a formula. You can do some funky math voodoo to get information that would otherwise be impossible to get.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Finish the density tasks. Get the chart filled out and find the “alien” material
   -=-
2. Task 2: We will take on Section 4, and together talk about how extreme materials can be identified by analyzing what we already know about extreme materials – like diamond, tungsten, and aerogels.
   -=-
3. TASK 3: Complete Section 4 – get it signed off.
   You will randomly choose 5 pieces of foil. You’ll measure the length and the width to find the area. You’ll put it on the scale to gather it’s mass data. Using the density, you will find the thickness of the substance.

Today the councilors will be sharing with you ways that you can see signs that your friends and family… or YOU might need to take a step back and seek some help. Keep your eyes open and your ears at the ready.
